[Phpwebsite-developers] Table Column Names

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

While rewriting the sqlImport function, I needed a way to grab the column
names of a table.

I remember someone telling me that the 'show columns' command is MySQL
specific. So I wrote a function named getColumnNames($tableName).

You pass it the name of the table and it returns an array of all the names.

Give me a +1 amen and I will commit it or gimme a damnation -1 and tell me
if there is an easier way that I haven't located.

Thanks,
Matt
